Power Manual1

This document is a lab manual for a Power Electronics course. It contains instructions and diagrams for 16 experiments involving various power electronic components like SCRs, TRIACs, MOSFETs, and IGBTs. The first experiment is on measuring the V-I characteristics of an SCR to determine its breakover voltage, on-state resistance, holding current, and latching current. Diagrams and equations for designing the circuit connections are also provided.

S.C.R. Characteristics
Aim: -

To study the V-I characteristics of S.C.R. and determine the Break over voltage, on state resistance Holding current. & Latching current Apparatus required: SCR TY604, Power Supplies, Wattage Resistors, Ammeter, Voltmeter, etc., Procedure: 1. Connections are made as shown in the circuit diagram. 2. The value of gate current IG, is set to convenient value by adjusting VGG. 3. By varying the anode- cathode supply voltage VAA gradually in step-bystep, note down the corresponding values of VAK & IA. Note down VAK & IA at the instant of firing of SCR and after firing (by reducing the voltmeter ranges and in creasing the ammeter ranges) then increase the supply voltage VAA. Note down corresponding values of VAK & IA. 4. The point at which SCR fires, gives the value of break over voltage VBO. 5. A graph of VAK V/S IA is to be plotted. 6. The on state resistance can be calculated from the graph by using a formula. 7. The gate supply voltage VGG is to be switched off 8. Observe the ammeter reading by reducing the anode-cathode supply voltage VAA. The point at which the ammeter reading suddenly goes to zero gives the value of Holding Current IH. 9. Steps No.2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 are repeated for another value of the gate current IG. -3-
